III. BASIS FOR INTERVENTION
Katy Prairie Conservancy owns and holds conservation easements for property that
may be adversely affected, as that term is defined in P.U.C. Proc. R. §22.52(a)(3), by the
proposed transmission line that is the subject of the application in this docket. Specifically,
KPC owns and holds conservation easements for property that would be affected if the
project is constructed on several links or segments included in CenterPoint's application.
KPC is included on the Landowner Mailing List included as part of the application filed by
CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC. Katy Prairie Conservancy, therefore, has
justiciable interests that may be adversely affected by the outcome of this docket and on that
basis it seeks to intervene. KPC's interests are physically and legally distinct from any other
party and no other party can adequately represent its interests. Katy Prairie Conservancy
requests this Motion to Intervene be granted and that KPC be recognized as a party to this
proceeding.
IV. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Katy Prairie Conservancy acknowledges that: (1) it will be a party to the case; (2) it
will be required to respond to all discovery requests from other parties in the case; (3) if KPC
files testimony, other parties may cross-examine at a hearing any KPC witness(es) providing
testimony in this case; (4) if KPC files any documents in this case, copies of those documents
must be provided to every other party to this case under the rules of the Public Utility
Commission of Texas and orders of the Administrative Law judge; and (5) KPC is bound by
the Procedural Rules of the Public Utility Commission of Texas and the State Office of
Administrative Hearings.
V. CONCLUSION AND PRAYER
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Katy Prairie Conservancy respectfully
requests this Motion to Intervene be granted, that it be allowed to participate as a party to this
proceeding, and for such further relief to which it may be entitled.
